Number of subjects (% in brackets) falling into respectively asymmetry level divided in 0 – 5, 5 – 10, 10 – 15 and above 15 percent defined by the ASI (%).
Total is defined as the number of observations for each levels summated for all variables with observed observations for the different levels of asymmetry.
